No im not, but you're right, +70% are US, the other +20% from english speaking countires... ie South Africa, UK, Austalia, Canada, NZ, etc

And a small % of Europeans & Asians, Im from Germany, but my finnish is ... not very good to say the least :)
But then again, Im the only german as far as I know, some ppl speak german here, but arn't german so... Naja.

Considering that you've been here for nearly a year, you havn't posted much have you. A quiet Finn :)

I know there is a Norwegian and a Swede here. I'm 1/8 Finnish by blood, but that's it.

Um...

I know that two of the tracks on the Final Fantasy N Generation CD are sung in Saami, which is I guess a dialect of finnish.

But I think I'm mostly German...my last name is German, at least.

I'm 1/8 Swedish and some small part as well of Danish. Ok, maybe that doesn't belong here. Long live Finland. (My great grandmother came from there.)

I'm a kiwi... but I kinda wish I were Finnish. Does that count? :P

Seriously, though - you Fins rock! Why was I born over in the Pacific (probably because I love NZ so much...) :D

Hello = Hei

How are you? = Mitä kuuluu?

God bless you = Siunausta (but more literally "Jumala siunatkoon sinua")

Finnish is a really, really difficult language.. I'm always wondering how can people be able to speak it.

Prussia.At least Prussia is the country of birth on the 1880 census.

Yep - a kiwi is a flightless, brown bird that eats worms etc. and has it's nostrils on the end of it's beak and kiwifruit are brown furry fruit (only furry on the outside) that are green on the inside. Similar to chinese gooseberries, I've been told. Unfortunately, I don't like them very much :grin: . However, there's another variety of the fruit called 'Zespri' or something, I think - they're kiwifruit, except without the hair, they're golden inside and don't have the same slight aftertaste. Ha - that's enough about NZ - this is a Finnish thread!

Wooo - that's awesome. Now I know how to write 'God Bless' to people in Finnish.... :grin: .

Siunausta! - and thank you for sharing some finnish words. Would I be able to ask how to say 'thank you' in Finnish?
